Met up with another sexy black Lexus NX recently, and spent some time starting deep into its LED eyeballs!

Just kidding. Nothing weird here. The Lexus style has just taken a huge leap with these ultra-cool triple LED headlamp style. It is stunning on the roads as an option on the new RC and NX, as well as the upcoming RX replacement.

Here is a very close look at the lights in real life. The interplay between the actual light output and my Nikon’s sensors is fairly interesting. The Nikon goes dark when the Lexus lights are shining right into its sensors.

As we see in the lamps, the outer and vertical portions of the L-shaped 3D lens are the low-beams, while the horizontal light blocks are the high-beams. Really beautiful.

The final closing touches are LED fogs in the lower bumper and LED amber blinkers in the full length of the arrowhead (as shown on this standard NX lighting setup directly below.)

Well done, Lexus!

2015 Lexus NX300h Review

Is the Lexus NX the most impressive new luxury crossover with a base price under $40,000?

After a week with the plucky and quick NX200t F Sport, we whole-heartedly say YES!!

But even quick spin in the NX300h shows that the incredible (seriously otherworldly) smoothness and efficiency of the NX300h is not to be dismissed out of hand.

With effiiency figures that are up about 10 on the turbo on city and highway to the mid-30s overall, the NX300h is seriously desirable as well. With 200-pounds of battery under the back seat, the NX300h handles with a planted and buttoned-down balance that makes up for its cozy and luxury-oriented suspension tune. If the NX200t F Sport craves corners and full-throttle, the NX300h relishes silent progress with an eager EV mode engaged whenever you come off the throttle.

They both have a similar sporty feel from the drivers seat, to be honest, but the NX300h is just not as quick on full throttle as the turbo. It is also much more mature in its nose design. Sharing a look with the base NX200t, the NX300h has a horizontal gloss grey grille and streamlined pointer nose. The NX300h has blue-tinted Lexus and Hybrid badges to tell it apart from the base NX200t, which starts from $35,000.

The look of the NX300h nose gels well with the overall angularity of the design, even in profile, but is not as cool as the deep chin spoiler and spindle grille of the mid-range F Sport option.

All this being said, the NX300h might not be as zoomy or quick — but it does have next-gen hybrid systems to keep fuel usage above 30-mpg —- even if driven flat-out-floored all the time.

All NX models are offered with available AWD, a premium pack with the (nice-to-have) moonroof, and even the ultra-modern and cool triple-LED low and highbeams. This package also includes heated and cooled seats up front. Yes to all, please.
